Mexico Beach Marina in Mexico Beach, FL is a family-owned marina, ship store and Yamaha outboard service center on Florida's Gulf Coast. Its Boatwork storefront for Mexico Beach Marina shows a Google rating of 4.7 from 469 reviews, along with marine electronics, engine repair, fuel and trailers.
What Mexico Beach Marina Does
The marina's Boatwork profile lists six lines of work: marine electrical and electronics, marina and boat storage, boat mechanics and engine repair, fuel supply, chandleries and boat trailers. The profile says the marina has served Mexico Beach boaters since 1977 and grew from a local boat launch into a marina with a ship store and outfitters shop. Its own Facebook page describes it as a "Beach, Bait, Tackle, Apparel & General Store" with Yamaha outboard sales and service, and the Mexico Beach Marina Facebook page shows a large local following.

Outboard Service: What to Ask
Service is the part of the marina that matters most to an owner with a broken boat. The profile names Yamaha outboards specifically, so a Yamaha outboard owner has a clear fit. An owner with an inboard or sterndrive should ask before assuming the same shop handles it, because the supplied profile does not say it does. When you request an estimate, give the engine type, the symptom and whether the boat can reach the dock under its own power.
The marina's own contact page names Brett Gibbens as service manager and lists Donny McArdle as a Yamaha master technician. After the hurricane, the page says, the crew was back to handle service and repowering needs. Browse the wider boat mechanics and engine repair pros in the directory if you want to compare other options.
Hours and Which Line to Call
The marina publishes seasonal hours on its contact page for Mexico Beach Marina. All times are Central, and the fuel dock closes 30 minutes earlier than the marina.
The early summer opening suits anglers leaving before sunrise, and the fuel dock's earlier close matters on the return leg. If you are coming in late, plan to fuel first. The marina keeps separate lines for the marina and store and for Yamaha sales, service and parts. The same page lists the Yamaha shop location in Port St. Joe, so confirm where an outboard job will be handled before you tow a boat.
Local Knowledge for Visiting Boaters
The profile says the marina's staff share fishing reports, tide information and local knowledge about the area's bottom structure and seasonal patterns. It also says the marina supports the MBARA Kingfish Tournament and other competitive fishing events. For a visitor who does not know these waters, asking at the store counter is a practical way to get current conditions before you leave. The Mexico Beach Marina listing on BeachGuide adds another place to check descriptions and photos.
The City Marina Project Is a Separate Thing
Searchers sometimes land on engineering pages about the Mexico Beach waterfront. A Dewberry project page for Mexico Beach Marina describes work to help the city secure grant funding to design and construct a new marina. It covers a steel seawall with a concrete cap, new finger piers with composite decking, and dock pedestals with water, electric and internet. That page describes a municipal design effort. It does not describe the Yamaha service, store or fuel offered by the business profiled here, so do not read its slip details as a promise about the business.
Not to Be Confused with Mexico Beach Marine
A different listed business, Divebase International dba Mexico Beach Marine, is also based in Mexico Beach. Its storefront lists diving and underwater services, marine canvas, covers and upholstery, and marine handyman services. It focuses on high-pressure and low-pressure air compressor systems, with mobile repair across Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Owners who need outboard work or fuel should start with the marina. Owners with a dive compressor should look at that profile. You can compare both in the Mexico Beach marine business directory.
Before You Go
- Name your engine type: outboard, inboard or sterndrive.
- Ask whether the work happens at the marina or at the Yamaha shop.
- Check the season's hours, and remember the fuel dock closes earlier.
- Ask for the scope of work in writing so the estimate can be compared.
For Marine Business Owners
A storefront that names real work, such as a certified Yamaha service line or a fuel dock, is easier for owners and search tools to match with the right job. If you run a marine business, you can claim your business profile to verify your details. Boatwork's marine website and marketing services help those details get found in search and by AI assistants.
